Hello collective AH creators and admirers! I am creating my first ongoing AH timeline, and I will try to post regularly.

The premise regards Mormonism and its effect on the development of the United States. ITT the POD is that Joseph Smith, prophet of the LDS Church, does not introduce polygamy in 1841 as a doctrine. This highly controversial tenet in IOT sparked backlash that would result in the assassination of Smith in 1844. ITT Smith is not assassinated, and continues to lead the Mormons in Nauvoo, Illinois. From there it butterflies in hugely impactful ways not just for the Church but the United States as well.

(In terms of format, I will be doing a year-by-year list of events pertinent to timeline, starting in 1841)

Stay tuned. :)
